Has anyone heard that they're making a movie about this book? What do you think?

Angelina Jolie is cast as Dagny; a good choice. The film is slated for 2008 release, but I don't know whether it can measure up to the book; the book is right, and the movie may end up being very "left," as far as Hollywood has drifted. (!)

I'm not sure that the movie will happen this year. Jolie is rumored to be pregnant, isn't she?

I agree, I hope they do justice to the book. It's a great book. I wish they would also adapt Anthem into film.

Ahhh, I just learned there is an Anthem movie and I didn't know it! I got to see it.

I've also heard that Ayn Rand actually wrote a screenplay for an "Atlas Shrugged" TV miniseries in the late 70s, and finished it before her death. Anyone know whatever became of it?

There has been many attempts to adapt the book to a movie but there have been difficulties and i think Liongate is now in the process of producing the film.

Yeah I read about Atlas Shrugged to be made as a movie with Dagny's role to be played by Angelina Jolie and there will be Brad Pitt also in it...but they are going to show only a slot of the novel thats what is there in the movie script!

That's obvious only a long serial with highly acclaimed cast can do justice with the whole novel.
